Notions-Drye Goods Studio Diary

Thanks for checking in. I am a fiber artist. My current emphasis is on eco printing and other wildcraft with a touch of up-cycling thrown in. You can also catch up with me on Facebook at Drye Goods Studio.

These are made from layers of paper petals that I dyed with alcohol inks. The leaves are made from scraps of hand dyed wool. If you would like to see them in person, I will be at The Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts in Port Angeles this weekend, the street fair is Saturday, Sunday and Monday-hope the weather holds out!

About Me

I work with plants and plant dyes on natural fibers to make beautiful, useful things. I am fascinated with the colors achieved from many humble weeds we overlook every day and the rather magical processes used to get them to give up their secrets. I have always been a bit obsessed with the passage of time, and this art form fits right in. The time of year and the stage of growth of a plant can affect what color it will give. The process itself can not be rushed-open the bundle too soon and it is ruined. This work teaches me mindfulness, presence and patience.
